Faces at the market - 2 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was taken Saturday an an open air market. It was incredible. About anything you could look for, they had there. Fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, clothing, trinkets, blah, blah, blah... And HUNDREDS of people. All ages, nationalities, colors. I particularly liked this shot because of the lighting and the dark BG. Hope you enjoy it.

Wonderful lighting, Shelly! Love this kind of portraits against a pitch dark background, so very much in the tradition of the old Dutch Masters, Rembrandt in primis. Flawless shot, TFS! Have a great day, I'll see you soon. HUGS,
Fulvio.

Bonsoir, ma bonne amie Shelly,
J'aime ce portrait pris sur le vif. Le personnage est vrai et naturel.
La qualité générale de la photographie est superbe (rendu des couleurs, détails, ...).
Le fond noir est parfait pour faire ressortir l'ensemble.
Très sincères amitiés.
Philippe

This is a beautiful, clear and crisp shot. You are right about the lighting. It is good. Almost ideal. The reflection of light from her hair adds to the description of the photo.

Hi Shelly,
Very interesting profile you have captured here in brilliant warm light that brings out all her lovely features.
Quite a serious pose to go along with clear natural color and razor sharpness against the effective dark background to this lovely portrait.
Regards, Tom

Hi Shelly
Another nice portrait. The light is natural and even on her face and I agree the dark BG really works well.

Hi, Shelly -

A lovely portrait, every hair and other details very sharp - good for f/5.6! I like the black background (it's my thing), and the pink strap makes a nice accent.

Best,
Dan

You did a wonderful porttrait here.
Perfect light on the skin, good focus, and no BG distraction.

Sublime.

Hi Shelly,

Beautiful lighting and sharp capture of the image. The silenced background keeps away all the busyness and the framing is flawless.

TFS and have a great weekend,
Jusni
